Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Who's seen this movie?

Just saw it last night and I'm already gonna say that it's the funniest movie I've ever seen. To be honest, I don't think I've laughed so much in my entire life. It's Jackass hijinks mixed in with a decent plot and social commentary. Those who are offended by the movie probably don't understand the irony behind his humor.

It also contains, imo, the funniest scene in cinema history: the fight sequence (those who've seen the movie know what I'm talking about).

Thoughts?

 

I'm going to watch the late night screening tommorow. I can't wait for it, I've been waiting for a Borat movie ever since he appeared on Da Ali G Show.

 

Here are some deleted scenes from the movie.

The last one is my favorite.

 

I'm going to watch the movie tonight. People have been on the extremes in response to it. Either they think its the funniest movie of the year, or they think it's completely tasteless. It's got to be better than Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, though.

 

watched it!!! i felt guilty watching it, especially when he stayed at that jewish couples bed and breakfast

 

I saw this movie last night. Funniest movie I've ever seen.

Everyone go out and see this because you will die the entire time.

Compared to the other victims who were made to look like arses, that jewish couple got off pretty easy though. That was pretty damn hilarious skit though. Probably my second favourite scene in the whole movie (followed closely by the rodeo scene).

 

I'm so sneaking into this movie

all racial humour is unsettling for me, especially in the manner presented in the film (i.e. shave off your moustache), although, i will admit i was laughing my arse off throughout the film.

 

The scene with the bear and the kids was the funniest physical comedy I've seen in ages.

 

This was easily the funniest movie of the year and probably the funniest movie ever. When he and his friend were fighting...wow. That was hilarious. Also, the running of the Jews....hilarious. And the concept of a pet bear was funny as hell as well. To say the least, this movie was comic genius at work. It was beyond funny Even if you have to make a trip to see it, I had to drive 45 minutes, it's worth it. You won't laugh harder at any other movie this year.

The racial humour, imo, was handled in a very mature manner. The movie meant for us to laugh at the racist, not with the racist. And that's the beauty behind this method of teaching racial tolerance. It's Crash without being preachy and at the same time, being down-right hilarious.

 

In my opinion, the racism was too over the top to take seriously. From the running of the Jews to how much he made fun of the feminists (though that's more sexist, but still mostly in the same boat), it was very over the top and it was meant to be funny, not to piss people off.

 

It was sold out yesterday so I'm going to watch it next weekend. People keep telling me things. I've been told theres a really sick scene in the film and they throw coins at cockroaches or something. I can't wait to see it. Apparently, people came out of the cinema singing "throw the jew down the well."

 

"Run kids, crush the jew egg before it hatches! Go!"

 

It was the funniest film ever, espiecially in England where no-one gives a crap about anything - we just laugh even if it's not funny. Racism in films. Funny. Anything. Funny, lol. Cinema with 550 people in laughing almost constantly for 80 minutes. Gets a 'high five' from me.

 

Topped box offices this weekend. Crazy thing is, it was out in only about 850 theaters. The Santa Clause 3, which opened at #2, was open in over 3500 theaters and got beat out by $8mil.

 

Amazingly funny movie, but not as good as his skits on Da Ali G show, and he copied some of his material from it. Like the etiquette coach. As soon as he asked about pictures, I started laughing.

My favorite part was when he yelled, " Pamela, I am not attracted to you anymore... NOT!"

 

Crazy ass movie, really funny. I don't think it was the funniest movie ever, but it was great. I wonder if that Pamela signing scene was for real, totally unexpected.

"Everybody knows iPod mini's are for girls!" ...I had one of those in my pocket as he said that, that had me cracking up.

forgot about that, it was kinda hard to concentrate after the entire theater was on the floor laughing after borat did what he did to pam anderson in the book store before that.
